I am writing concerning eight patrol boats that are currently being stored at Naval Weapons Station Yorktown. In April 2014, I sent an inquiry letter to the Commander of the Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan (CSTC-A) concerning the procurement of these boats for the Afghan National Police (ANP). I became concerned about this procurement action following a review of email correspondence indicating that these patrol boats were bought, but never delivered to the ANP. Subsequent interviews with Defense Security Cooperation Administration and Navy International Programs Office (NIPO) personnel confirmed that the patrol boats were procured by NIPO in coordination with CSTC-Aat a cost of more than $3 million in October 2010 using the Afghan Security Forces Fund (ASFF). Less than nine months later CSTC-A cancelled the requirement. The patrol boats were almost fully built at the time of the cancellation and would have been unusable unless completed. After the patrol boats were completed, they were transferred to storage facilities at Naval Weapons Station Yorktown in 2011.
